It's NBA awards time! With the regular season officially in the books, Adam and Dan go through their final picks—not to be confused with predictions—for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Man of the Year, Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year. While some of these races are fait accompli—thanks to Nikola Jokic, Rudy Gobert, LaMelo Ball, Julius Randle and others—the second part of our ballots proved to be ultra-difficult.  TIMESTAMPS⬇️ 🔘 Adam ruins his wife's office (0:57)🔘 East play-in matchups (1:30)🔘 Executive of the Year (4:31)🔘 Coach of the Year (10:52)🔘 Sixth Man of the Year (19:58)🔘 Defensive Player of the Year (27:36)🔘 Rookie of the Year (32:37)🔘 Most Improved Player (39:42)🔘 MVP (45:56) Please subscribe to Hardwood Knocks here.
